Bestow me the strength of Bilal bin Rabah

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...

Bilal bin Rabah was a slave..

He was black and very much dissed others

He was not handsome, unlike Mus'ab bin Umair

He was not rich, unlike Abdul Rahman Auf

He was not that bold like Umar al-Khattab

He did not stand out like most Companions

Abu Dzar even called him a black mother's son, by accident (but apologised later)

But there were some things that Allah gave him which differentiate him from others

That Rasulullah dreamt of hearing the sound of his footsteps in front of Rasulullah in Paradise (Hadith)

He was bestowed a strong heart, a steadfast soul, hardcore resilience, abundance of patience, and sincerity.

He stood firm in face of adversity and always have positive thoughts of Allah

Subhanallah! HOw i wish to see you in Jannah, Ya Bilal bin Rabah

I am not that special

I am not that brilliant, unlike A
I don't always score high marks in exams, unlike R

I am not that pretty or charming, unlike H

I don't think i'm an interesting person, not like T

I don't think I am that popular among friends, unlike Z

I don't think I stood out, unlikeL

But there is one thing i know that is special about me

I tawakkal everytime i wanna do something and  i accept His decisions whole-heartedly

I know that everytime I fall, i can pick myself up and move on

Because I know that Allah gave me a strong heart

I know deep inside that He will not desert me, He will not abandon me,
He will always be there for me no matter waht

I Know that He tested me with something that is important for me 
to make me stronger and whole

And He Knows That I'm saying all this because I LOVE HIM..

And there is only one thing I ask of You Ya Rahman, please give me the heart and resilience of the great Companion of Rasulullah, Bilal bin Rabah...
